Giftee Launches Corporate Benefits Program for Narel Group
In a significant development,
Giftee Inc., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is introducing its
giftee Benefit platform for
Narel Group, aiming to revolutionize employee welfare programs starting April 1, 2026. This move signifies a robust commitment to enhancing employee engagement through a well-structured corporate gifting solution tailored specifically for businesses and employees.
Since October 2022, Giftee has specialized in providing Corporate Gift services, successfully establishing a presence in the BtoB and BtoE segments.

From seasonal gifts like Chugen (mid-year gifts) to employee recognitions on birthdays and anniversaries, the service has gained traction across various industries, accumulating over
